Previously published by Hodder Wayland as CEREMONIES AND CELEBRATIONS: GROWING UP. This edition has been simplified and updated to suit KS1 and KS2 readers age 6-9 years. Children can discover information such as why Hindu boys wear a sacred thread at their initiation ceremony, how Jewish boys and girls celebrate coming of age and how Christians welcome young people into their faith. The book includes child's-eye accounts of some of these events as well as extracts from ancient religious texts to demonstrate their origins. It provides a fascinating insight into the special ceremonies of the six major world religions and is essential for any classroom or library.
